According to Adam Caplan - no word yet on the compensation. Makes sense for the Cardinals since Arians doesn't need a FB and the Chiefs don't have much at the position so it's worth taking a risk on the former 5th round pick.

Update: Chiefs send CB Javier Arenas to the Cardinals - Arenas was a second round pick who spent most of his time in the slot. The Chiefs had hopes of him becoming a dangerous return man but it never panned out. He won't have to worry about that in Arizona with Mathieu and Peterson in town._________________The Ultimate Fantasy Football Challenge

Rumor is Javier Arenas was the comp. Reid just drafted one in the draft. Why trade for another?_________________

I'm surprised we would have any interest in Javier Arenas, with Peterson, Fleming, Cason, and Powers I thought we had a solid group of corners.

Arenas for Sherman would be a crazy deal. Is a sub-par FB really worth giving up on a former second round pick who has been a capable starter in the slot?_________________The Ultimate Fantasy Football Challenge

I always liked Arenas and it's a fullback you are giving up. Even a great one is just a fullback and still not worth a ton. I like the move for the Cardinals and think it's kind of dumb for the Chiefs. You can sign a fullback off the streets, and if not, who cares? Don't use fullback sets?

It's not like Andy is running power-I formations. He just wants a guy to block or get checkdowns. You can just have a HB or TE do that. Then for the Cardinals, you can never have too many corners so even if he's a bust he still has potential for depth and special teams._________________

Reid is going to do to Fullbacks, what Belichick did to Tight Ends. Defenses are going to be so confused by Reids 3 FB offense. Alex Smith will be able to dump it off to one of our FB's for 2 yards all game.

You can't find a FB on Sherman's level on the street, and Arenas was probably going to be cut before the season, anyway.._________________
